Global HPV Testing Market: Snapshot

HPV, short for the human papilloma virus, refers to a group of over 150 viruses that several negative changes within a human body. They are called the papilloma virus due to the fact that several viruses from this group are known to cause warts or papillomas, which are a form of non-cancerous tumor. At the same time, some of the types of HPV are far more serious as they have been linked to cancers, especially cancers of the cervix. One of the key characteristics of the human papilloma virus is that they can only survive within a specific type of cell: the squamous epithelial cell, which can be located on the skin’s surface and especially within moist surfaces such as the mucosal surfaces. A part of the HPV group falls under the low-risk genital HPV type, which is known to cause low-risk issues such as warts in specific locations. The high-risk genital HPV types are known to cause cancer in both men and women. They cause changes on a cellular level which can lead to pre-cancers, following into cancers over time. HPV has no key symptoms that can be used to identify it, with the exception of specific types of warts caused by some members of the virus group.
